The well known Polish rapper with Tattooed eyeballs, Popek Monster, fought under the KSW banner again last night. This time, his opponent was an actor who had never fought in MMA before…
KSW 41 went off in the Spodek arena in Katowice, Poland, last night. Widely known for their outlandish matchmaking and high quality promotional videos, ‘Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki’ are making a name for themselves.
As well as infamous strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski, KSW houses ex-bodybuilder Robert Burneika, rapper with tattooed eyeballs ‘Popek Monster,’ and UFC veteran Norman Parke. Popek competed in last night’s co-main event.
Although he lost by knockout against Pudzianowski in his KSW debut, Popek wanted to test himself against another massive bodybuilder. Facing Robert Burneika at KSW 39, Monster got his win.
Defeating Burneika after just 45 seconds, Popek was able to drop his man and wallop the fallen bodybuilder with a barrage of strikes. Up against Popek last night was Tomasz Oswiecinski, a Polish actor known for his role in the 2016 film ‘Pitbull.’
Tomasz Oswiecinski vs. Popek Monster
Tomasz Oswiecinski is an interesting character. Although mostly known for his acting, the Polish man claims to have once been part of an organized crime racket in his home country.
Allegedly dealing in stolen goods, Tomasz Oswiecinski also says he is a veteran of multiple street fights and disputes over territory against rival Polish gangs. He made his MMA debut against Popek at KSW 41, and surprisingly got the TKO win.

Also competing at KSW 41 were Kleber Koike and Artur Sowinski, a bout that was originally meant to be for Erbst’s featherweight title. When he missed weight, KSW stripped their 145-pound champion of the belt.
He did eventually win by third round submission, but due to being overweight the title is now vacant. Roberto Soldic defeated Borys Mankowski in the main event welterweight title fight by TKO (retirement).
